If you purchased gasoline from certain gas stations in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin or Ohio between 08/13/2012 through 09/07/2012 and experienced engine performance issues or had to make any kind of repairs because of the gas, you could be entitled to a cash payment of up to $50 or up to $1500 from the BP Tainted Gas Class Action Settlement. Obviously, this settlement is a result of alleged claims of BP distributing tainted gas into certain gas stations throughout the Midwest that has caused high damage to affected vehicles.
